I threw all my luggage on the floor because who cares about that and ran upstairs and slammed the cartridge into… oh wait, my Switch is back downstairs in my backpack from bringing it on vacation. Waiting for me in my house, same and sound! Thanks Mr. Which boxes were they? Well, perhaps it was all the Buddha statues we saw in Thailand, but a power higher than myself made everything right with the world. Luckily, someone screwed up and let two boxes slip through. A game of which I’d been looking forward to since I finished Super Mario 64 back in 1997, ~20 years ago.īut then I get home after 20+ hours in the sky to find that everything in the world has righted itself! I had put through a USPS “Hold Mail” request, and thus would have to wait until the next day when they delivered the accumulated mail to play Odyssey. And then I did the unthinkable: I ignored the game completely for 4 damn days. Since I dare not go on social media or do any sort of research whatsoever when a game of this scale launches for fear of spoiling or in any way impacting my own personal hype, I avoided Twitter like the plague, and I don’t have a Facebook. MMOs, sure, Internet cafes with people playing World of Warcraft, perhaps, but not a single video game store, or even a media store, for hundreds of miles in all directions.

Both of which are only available once you’ve beaten the game.Īt 250 Power Moons you will have successfully powered up the Odyssey enough that you can now go to the first secret world: the Dark Side of the Moon, also known as Rabbit Ridge. Of the 880 Power Moons you can gather in the game, you only need 250 for the first Secret World and 500 for the second. Tucked away in the game are two hidden levels that can be unlocked only by gathering Power Moons. For what reason you might ask? Why, to unlock the Secret Worlds of course. Well, when you beat the game you are taken to a certain level and told to go forth and collect as many Power Moons as you can. How to Unlock the Secret Worlds in Super Mario Odyssey
